It's already happening. HHS has OpenAI for everyone who works there, and as of now they're required to use it.
Chatgpt create a script to run random AI prompts every 20seconds.
How can you be required to use it?
There are a number of companies requiring employees to use AI or face termination now. I keep seeing new reports on pivot-to-ai. The admins have dashboard metrics for enterprise accounts to see who and who isn’t using AI and the number of prompts. I see these types of reports but from the perspective of the security team that has to ensure nothing nefarious is taking place.
You sign up everybody for an account. There's an admin where they can see how many tokens everyone is using.
"our employees aren't spending our money fast enough! We need to send more of our money to Sam Altman! Fire the none users"
It just doesn't make sense
If you don't force your employees to use it, people will start to ask why you are spending so much on something no one at the company asked for or uses. Once you realize that businesses are all about self interest and quarterly profits, it makes much more sense.
Welp here’s my lack of surprise
I had thought OpenAI might survive this bubble, but it sounds like a monster crash coming up. How the hell can they ever make enough to see a profit?!
According to Wikipedia, Oracle Corp. has 57billion yearly revenue, this is 300billion over 5 year, meaning it would more than double their revenue? Is that plausible?
According to the article, Oracle made $18b from cloud services this year. They are projecting that to grow to $144b in the next five years, with almost half that growth being this deal.
Absurd.
Let's hope this hurts them bad. Oracle is evil.
Did they pay for anything, or they just fund everything from donations ?
